The new pub on Burnaby Mountain at SFU will officially open on Monday, April 1. Named The Study, the pub will serve SFU students and the rest of the UniverCity community. “Located adjacent to the new student union building, The Study is a 19-plus venue that can seat over 300 patrons, with more accommodated outdoors on the expanded pub patio overlooking the city,” read a post by SFU. The view of the city looks kickass from the photos and likely beats any other pub in Burnaby. The furnishings are pretty swank - the look is distinctly retro - and the lower floor arcade area is outfitted with vintage pinball games, shuffleboard and ping pong tables. The new campus pub will be operated by the Joseph Richard Group (JRG), which operates a number of public houses and restaurants in and around Metro Vancouver. Mark McLaughlin, chief commercial services officer at SFU says, “Our vision is to create a fun place on the Burnaby campus where students can enjoy the social aspects that are part of student life outside the classroom while appealing equally to faculty, staff and UniverCity residents. We expect that JRG will successfully add vibrancy to the campus.”
